i have had mirena for about 8 months and im ready to get it out.....

Try Planned Parenthood, I am getting mine removed on the 28th because I can't take the mood swings, the fatigue, back pain, sore breasts, nausea plus the 30lbs I've put on despite exercising every day and eating very healthy. I've felt like I've been slowly losing my mind over the past year and a half and I can't take it anymore. My husband agreed I need to get rid of this thing. Half the time with birth control these doctors don't know how to listen to the patient, they just assume that if it isn't in their little pamphlet it must be unrelated. Planned Parenthood said I could fill out some paperwork since I don't have insurance, and I can either get it removed for free or on a sliding scale depending on my income level.

That is Crazy!! If you have insurance it is not up to him what happens to your body. I would first recommend a new gyno!! If you do not have insurance I would try planned parenthood to. Even alot of Catholic churches have programs to help women in need. Never "deal with it" when it comes to your heath and body. Ever!!!
